'Godzilla' is an acrylic on canvas, finished with a UV varnish. The canvas measures 40 x 40 cm.
Somewhere between urban writing and academicism, Antoine Gamard has fun highlighting the links he sees between 20th-century energy and graffiti aesthetics.
His canvases often feature representatives of the animal kingdom, set like a surrealist collage against an urban backdrop woven with graffiti. It's a dreamlike world he depicts, in which wonder at Creation clashes with our own contemporaneity.
Wild, civil, free, it's above all his way of showing that's important to the artist. While each series can be read independently, they all have one thing in common: transfiguring aesthetic experience into Beauty.
The artist
Bio
Antoine Gamard was born in Paris in 1977. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he developed his ideas based on the superimposition of writing and the interweaving of motifs. By juxtaposing these two ideas, under the guidance of painter Claude Viallat, he came to see white as a vector of pure invention that only the imagination can see.
His canvases often feature representatives of the animal kingdom, set like a surrealist collage against an urban backdrop of graffiti. It's a dreamlike world he depicts, in which wonder at Creation clashes with our own contemporaneity. Over time, his paintings and stories have become more complex. The aesthetic is suspended, densified and tangible, whether it's animals, cosmonauts, graffiti or the Sacred.
